Can a single sore on back be consistent with Herpes?
I'm new here and I didn't know how to properly ask a question. The Subject is basically my question. In an email, a woman told me she had a sore (pimple) on her rump many years ago and it has recently reoccurred. She says she has herpes. but I have my doubts as she has never had a genital or oral sore. I have asked her if she had a blood test, but so far she hasn't answered. Is it conceivable that she actually does have herpes? I wonder because I was diagnosed and treated for herpes, when I didn't have herpes or any other STD.

personally I think that it is rediculous that a PhD is coming to an advice website where the majority of the users are under the age of 18. /facepalm... maybe you should ask someone more legit than us.

Maybe, I had a friend years ago who had it, and it layed dormant at the base of her spine, and when she had an outbreak, it would be at the base of her back. She was tested and she came out positive for herpes. So I think it is possible.
But only a test can tell for sure.

well, im only 16, and have never had an std or anything, because i've never done anything to get one. but, couldnt it just be a zit? i've had a few zits on my butt and back. of everything that i've heard of herpes, i thought it was only in the genital or oral areas.
I guess it could be herpes, because again, im 16 and not a doctor. but i think it was probably just a zit.
hope i helped.
